1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup mixed nuts (such as walnuts, pecans, and almonds), chopped
Directions
Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fold in Chocolate Chips and Nuts: Using a spatula, gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
